Edward & Deborah Danielczyk (USA) recently spent 25 days on a New Zealand self-drive adventure First Light Travel created for them. On their return they painstakingly crafted a pictorial journal, publishing it on Shutterfly. This unedited account of their trip is a must-read for anyone planning a New Zealand self-drive tour and wondering which locations & activities are worthwhile – Here is the South Island Instalment.

Our Review

Hi Kasey,

I wanted to touch base now that we are home and settled back into our routine to tell you what a wonderful New Zealand trip we had and to thank you for all your effort.  You did a wonderful job and probably picked some great experiences and places to stay that we wouldn't have thought about.  We hope to one-day return and you will be our go-to girl when that happens!
